I knew what the book was about, it was good, I couldn't put it down, but it disgusted me. It's the story of Tavi (and a few other boys) who's parents were poor. The boys were sold into human trafficking, by a deceiving person, who promised them money and that the boys would receive a good education and job training. The book is written from Tavi's point of view as he endures unpleasant things. It does have a happy ending though, and a few twists and turns. Most human trafficking I have heard about are girls, sadly enough it's both boys and girls.

Being originally from Indiana and actually visiting the underground railroad house this story was about made this story even more fascinating because I could actually picture what i remembered about visiting there. At one point in the story they described the passageway from the house to the barn.....I have been through that same passageway. :-)
